TORONTO – Canada’s Rachel Homan stole two points in the eighth end for a 6-4 win over Japan’s Sayaka Yoshimura on Saturday at the AMJ Players’ Championship. 

Yoshimura needed to make an open draw to the four-foot ring with her final throw but her stone was heavy.

Homan, from Ottawa, was scheduled to play South Korea’s Eun-Jung Kim in the evening semifinal at the Mattamy Athletic Centre.
